Christmas Log with Orange Jam

by Editorial Staff

What is Christmas without the traditional French dessert Christmas log? in fact, it is a cake, made from biscuit dough and rolled into a roll, so the cut resembles a cut from a tree. The number of ingredients per recipe for 1 roll.

Servings: 6 Cook: 2h 20 mins

Ingredients

  • egg – 5 pcs.
  • sugar 1 tablespoon.
  • flour 1 tablespoon.
  • vanilla sugar teaspoon
  • olive oil 3 ml
  • orange jam – 3-4 tablespoon. l.
Ganache:
  • bitter chocolate 400 g
  • cream at least 20% 200 ml
  • chopped almonds 60-80 g
  • a pinch of salt
  • cinnamon 1/3 teaspoon
  • cocoa 1 tablespoon. l.
Chantilly cream:
  • cream 33% fat 1 tablespoon.
  • vanilla sugar 1 teaspoon
  • powdered sugar 3-4 tablespoon. l.
  • lemon juice 1/4 lemon

Directions

  1. Cooking a biscuit: mix eggs with sugar and put in a water bath. Beat in a water bath until the mass brightens and increases in volume by 2-3 times. Then we remove from the bath and, continuing to beat, let the mass cool slightly. Then add sifted flour, vanilla sugar, olive oil, gently stir with a spatula over-down. Pour the dough onto a baking sheet covered with parchment. We put in an oven preheated to 180 ° C for 10-15 minutes, a golden crust will appear, check the readiness with a skewer.
  2. Take out the biscuit. Cover the table with a damp towel, pre-moisten the towel in cold water. Turn the baking sheet over on a towel, remove the parchment from the biscuit, if the parchment does not come off well, put another damp towel on top and carefully remove the parchment paper after a couple of minutes. The sponge cake that has not yet cooled down, roll it into a roll with a bottom towel and leave it for 15-20 minutes. Let it cool down. Then you can unfold and remove the towel.
  3. Chantilly cream: Whisk the cream, icing sugar, vanilla sugar and lemon juice until soft peaks.
  4. Assembly: take a biscuit and grease with jam. Let stand for 5 minutes. After that we apply a layer of Chantilly cream and gently roll it into a tight roll. Wrap in plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  5. While the roll is in the fridge, prepare the Ganache: melt 400 g of dark chocolate in a water bath, add cream, spices, salt and ground almonds (I had it almost ground into flour). Mix everything gently.
  6. We take out the roll from the refrigerator, remove the film / foil. Cover the roll with a thin layer of ganache and put in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes. We put the remaining ganache in a pastry bag (if not, you can carry it in a thick layer and draw furrows with a thick edge of a skewer or Chinese sticks), take out a roll and draw stripes imitating the bark of a tree. Put in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Then we take it out and use a knife or a spatula to make the furrows more accurate.
  7. We take a brush and grease the roll with cold water. Sprinkle cocoa on top (take a strainer for convenience). Then remove excess cocoa with a dry soft brush. The roll is ready!

Enjoy your meal!
